One day long ago, I learned that I could spin my class ring with the stone down and after spinning a second it would reverse itself and finish spinning with the stone up in the air. I used to tell all kinds of lies about it.

Anyway, I ran across this at theFutility Closet and it's the same kind of thing and it's easier to see what is going on with the "top." If you want to see it done with a ring, you can clickhere for a youtube videothat Wombat found.

“So I grabbed my rifle and I came around through here in my kitchen,”
he told the station. “It was scary. I didn’t know what I was walking
into and hearing people running around inside my house at the same time.

Magdeleno said he caught two of the suspects downstairs and another
upstairs and ordered all three to lie on the floor, the station
reported. He said he didn't know if they were armed.

Police eventually arrived and took the three juveniles into custody, according to the report. From here:

Well, we all know this won't be covered on the news. But I do have a question ... he said he grabbed his rifle ... now, was it an assault rifle? I wonder. I'd have to guess it was an assault rifle ... you know why? Because of the seeming complete lack of curiosity on the part of the jourrrrnalist.

Yes, jourrrrnalists know there are some things the public/sheep just don't need to know.

That's right, you see, the sheep aren't very smart and they might start trying to put two and two together and get five ... and we just can't take a chance on that, now can we.

There's something else he left out of the story wasn't curious about ... can you tell what it is? Yes, we wouldn't want the sheep to get all riled up over trivial/insignificant facts, now would we.

This just goes to show you how helpful and informative the media is in general. They have our best interests at heart.

House majority leader
Eric Cantor is increasingly frustrated with a group of House Republicans
who are working against the leadership, and he’s not afraid of voicing
his dismay.

In a closed-door conference meeting on Wednesday, Cantor told one GOP
member that if they blocked the Senate-passed Violence Against Women
Act (VAWA) from coming to the floor, they’d cause “civil war” in the
ranks. More here:

Well, a couple of things ... first of all, Eric, ... WHAT are you doing?

Our country is mired in the worst debt of our entire history and congress is spending $7,000,000 PER MINUTE (and of that you're borrowing $3,000,000 ... PER MINUTE.)

Gas prices going through the roof and contributing to a crashing economy? And you asshats are blocking drilling?

And you're worried about what ... the "Violence Against Women Act?"

Let me tell you something, you braying jackass ... you get your ass back in there, stop playing politics and get down to business. No wonder there's a "civil war" going on in that party ... the current leadership (old guard) needs to go.

Now, back to the VAWA ... isn't it already against the law to commit violence against women? So now what ... you need MORE laws? WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU?

And another thing, ever notice these asshats are always with the "They're going to cause ______" (fill in the blank:)

Crushing debt

High unemployment

Civil war in the ranks of the GOP

ON and ON and ON ... and nobody notices that IT'S ALREADY HAPPENED. They're not "going to cause X," they already caused it ... IT'S OVER WITH.

During a House Financial Services Committee hearing Tuesday on the
budget, two Democrats complained after House Financial Services
Committee chairman Jeb Hensarling instructed that two monitors in the
hearing room display a real-time running national debt clock.

California Rep. Maxine Waters and Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison both issued complaints about the displays, according to video of the hearing.

“Clearly it is a political prop designed to message ideologically,” Ellison said.

Waters asked that the debt clock not be on display whenever Democrats spoke, Hensarling said during the hearing. More here:

"STOP SHOWING THE DEBT CLOCK ... PEOPLE MIGHT SEE IT."

Yes, Keith Ellison, that's what the debt is ... it's just a prop ... it means nothing.

I have news for the "Democratics." The people who vote for you are too stupid to understand what debt does to a nation so stop worrying.

Guntersville (Ala.) Mayor Leigh Dollar is working with city officials to
pass an ordinance that would give police the power to “disarm
individuals” during a disaster, a chilling example of how the second
amendment is being assaulted via the back door.

The new rule would allow authorities to confiscate guns of “unruly”
people during an extreme weather event such as the April 2011 tornadoes
or any other emergency. More here:

Ok, now ... if you don't know that the cops ALREADY have the authority to snag the gun off an "unruly" person, then you're probably an idiot-lib.

But this way we can start writing new rules and redefining "unruly" to include whatever we like. Oh yes, this is VERY necessary, haruumph, harrrrumph.Oh, here's what the dumb snatch mayor looks like.

The sequester is officially still three days away, but the Obama administration already is making the first cuts, with officials confirming that the Homeland Security Department already has released several hundred illegal immigrants from detention in order to save money. More here:

Right ... the "sequester."

Did you know the "sequester" amounts to about 2% of what the government is going to spend anyway this year? Yes, 2%.

And if Obama can't have that 2% to give to his buddies, then he's going to have to let illegal's out of jail ... oh yes. Not only that but homeless will starve in the streets ... society will become lawless ... myriad catastrophes will happen. Isn't that what the libs are saying? Isn't that what the media is saying?

Joshua Miner remembered his teenage girlfriend confiding “years back that she wanted to have sex with a dead guy,” states a police report documenting last month’s double murder on Hickory Street.

That's why Miner got the idea to ask girlfriend Alisa Massaro to have sex with him on the corpses of two men he's accused of helping to kill, police said.

The reports obtained by Patch detail the differing versions of events described by the two young men and two young women—Miner, 24, Massaro, 18, Adam Landerman, 19, and Bethany McKee, 18 —accused of luring two men to Massaro’s Hickory Street home and strangling them.

Police found the bodies of Terrance Rankins and Eric Glover, both 22, face down inside the house on Joliet’s near west side on the afternoon of Thursday, Jan. 10. Plastic bags were tied around the dead men’s heads, according to the reports. One of the men was bound, the other looked as if his hands had been tied at one time. More here:

That's right, another senseless plastic bag killing. Hey, I wonder if the bags were automatic bags with high head capacity ... that makes ALL the difference, doncha know.

In an interview with Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts aired this
morning, First Lady Michelle Obama recalled the tragic death of
15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton who was shot and killed in Chicago after
performing during the President’s Inauguration celebration in Washington
D.C.

“She was caught in the line of fire because some kids had some
automatic weapons they didn’t need,” the First Lady explained. “I just
don’t want to keep disappointing our kids in this country. I want them
to know that we put them first.”

For the broadcast, ABC’s Good Morning America producers edited out the First Lady’s “automatic weapon” line.

She was standing out in a park with her friends in a neighborhood
blocks away from where my kids grow – grew – up, where our house is. She had just taken a chemistry test.And she was caught in the line of fire because some kids had some automatic weapons they didn’t need.I just don’t want to keep disappointing our kids in this country. I want them to know that we put them first. More here:

It's great how idiot-libs can just change the definitions of words willy-nilly, isn't it? The better to convince people who otherwise might not be convinced.

In addition to that, the media will cover for our "intellectual betters" so they aren't exposed as ignorant ... that way you won't be so quick to question the genius of the idiot-lib.

Let me ask you something. If we let idiot-libs go and be by themselves ... and we just told them "go be happy and free," do you suppose they would leave the rest of us the hell alone?

LOL, CORRECT answer ... because an idiot-lib can't have any fun being a genius unless everyone knows he's a genius. And if you don't agree that he's a true genius, it's ok, you'll do as he says anyway because the mob majority rules, right?

Debt? What debt? You mean we're in debt? With no budget in the last five years?

So I was listening to the 02/21/13 Mark Levin podcast yesterday and Mark said he had been doing some research and ran across this, from John Adams. By the way, he refers to a "Mr Needham" in the article. He's talking about Marchamont Needham ... an idiot-lib of his day ... and wouldn't you know it ... a jourrrrnalist.

Yes. It appears that idiot-libs have been around for all of humankind (and gravitate towards jourrrrnalism). And no matter what you tell them, they still want to control you ... they INSIST you do as they say.

That is why the founding fathers wrote the constitution ... so that we would no longer have to discuss anything with idiot liberals ... instead we point to the law and say "that says you can't vote my rights away and I don't intend to negotiate surrendering my rights with you, now begone, idiot-lib." Ahhhh, heaven on earth, right?

Anyway, this is (in part) what John Adams wrote.(I divided it up into paragraphs.)

Suppose a nation, rich and poor, high and low, ten millions in number, all assembled together; not more than one or two millions will have lands, houses, or any personal property; ...a great majority of every nation is wholly destitute of property, except a small quantity of clothes, and a few trifles of other movables.

Would Mr. Needham be responsible that, if all were to be decided by a vote of the majority, the eight or nine millions who have no property, would not think of usurping over the rights of the one or two millions who have?

There he is saying that the poor would NEVER EVEN THINK of stealing from the rich ... you know, because it's wrong to steal. He goes on.

Property is surely a right of mankind as really as liberty.

Perhaps, at first, prejudice, habit, shame or fear, principle or religion, would restrain the poor from attacking the rich, and the idle from usurping on the industrious; but the time would not be long before courage and enterprise would come, and pretexts be invented by degrees, to countenance the majority in dividing all the property among them, or at least, in sharing it equally with its present possessors.

"Shame would prevent them" ... LOL @ libs being able to feel shame or embarrassment.

"Pretexts invented by degrees" ... oh, how right he was ... and where does it end? Once it starts, does it ever end? Think about it.

Debts would be abolished first; taxes laid heavy on the rich, and not at all on the others; and at last a downright equal division of every thing be demanded, and voted. What would be the consequence of this?

The idle, the vicious, the intemperate, would rush into the utmost extravagance of debauchery, sell and spend all their share, and then demand a new division of those who purchased from them.

The moment the idea is admitted into society, that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence.

If "Thou shalt not covet," and "Thou shalt not steal," were not commandments of Heaven, they must be made inviolable precepts in every society, before it can be civilized or made free. From here:

I ran across this yesterday and figured I'd better post about it since many readers are sammy aficionados. I am an owner.

While I'm at it, I also saw this "Bacon Bologna," but I haven't bought any yet.

Interesting tidbit:

When I decided to write a post about the jalapeno bologna, I needed a pic, so I went to theOscar Mayer website.But guess what, on their website they don't admit to making bologna. Can't find a reference to bologna anywhere. I wonder why that is. Perhaps they overlooked it.

A skeptical person might suspect that Oscar Mayer is ashamed of bologna ... too low class for them ... can't admit wading around down here in the sewer with the unsophisticated poor people ... nooooo.

Also, while doing research, I ran across this site called "Cooking for the single man," in which there is a recipe called "The Bologna Stack." LMAO - cracked me up, man.

Map showing the main trans-Saharan caravan routes circa 1400. Also shown are the Ghana Empire (until the 13th century) and 13th – 15th century Mali Empire. Note the western route running from Djenné via Timbuktu to Sijilmassa. Present day Niger in yellow.

This map includes some "interesting tidbits" along with the "where is it" info to better enable your pea-brain to remember it. It might work for some of you. As for me, I'll probably be looking it up again in a couple of years.

Hey Klown, what got you thinking about Timbuktu?

I was reading about Al Qaeda's "22 tips for dodging drones" when the article said they found the tips in Timbuktu. And I thought, WOW ... cuz who would ever think of looking there ... right?

OLYMPIA — House Democrats rolled out a nearly $10 billion transportation package Wednesday that would boost taxes on gasoline, increase car tabs and even charge a bicycle fee to raise money. More here:

(Reuters) - Millions of birds have descended on a small Kentucky city this winter, fouling the landscape, scaring pets and raising the risk for disease in a real-life version of Alfred Hitchcock's horror film, "The Birds."

The blackbirds and European starlings blacken the sky of Hopkinsville, Kentucky, before roosting at dusk, turn the landscape white with bird poop, and the disease they carry can kill a dog and sicken humans.

"I have seen them come in, and there are enough that if the sun is just right, they'll cloud your vision of the sun," said Hopkinsville-Christian County historian William Turner. "I estimate there are millions of them."

David Chiles, president of the Little River Audubon Society, said the fact that migratory flocks are roosting in the city rather than flying further south is tied to climate warming. More here:

In related news, Professor Butt-Munchy over at the University of Bleating Sheep announced that his ass itches due to global warming.

But that's not all ... guess what ... a CNN "news anchor" (genius) is asking whether global warming is responsible for the recent meteor. Luckily for her, libs are immune to the effects of humiliation and embarrassment.

The United States Department of Agriculture has been working to dispel immigrants’ concerns that getting on Food Stamps will harm their chances of becoming U.S. citizens.

The USDA addresses those fears in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or food stamp, brochures it distributes to Mexican consulates as part of its “partnership” with the Mexican government “to help educate eligible Mexican nationals living in the United States about available nutrition assistance.”

In one portion of the brochure, USDA’s text asks, “If I get on SNAP benefits, will I be a ‘public charge?’”

The brochure then answers: “No. You and your family can apply for and receive SNAP benefits without hurting your chance of becoming U.S. citizens.”
The brochure further advises immigrants that members of their family could qualify for food stamps, even if they do not. More here:

And why does the federal government find it necessary to take money from me so they can advertise the wide availability of food stamps in America(more money from me) to Mexicans living in Mexico?Just exactly WHAT purpose does that serve?

Don't bother answering. I know they're just trying to get more voters who will vote for Democrats.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday sided with a drug-sniffing German
shepherd named Aldo in ruling that police do not have to extensively
document a dog’s expertise to justify relying on the animal to search
someone’s vehicle.

The unanimous court overturned a decision
by the Florida Supreme Court. That court had thrown out a 2006 search
of a man’s truck after Aldo “alerted” to the smell of drugs, saying
police must compile detailed evidence of the dog’s reliability before
probable cause to search the vehicle is established. More here:

Well, I'm no expert, but this seems to say that the cops can just bring any old dog around your vehicle and say "it alerted" and claim probable cause to search your vehicle. Am I wrong?

Does this sound like an expansion or restriction of your liberty and freedom?

Wasn't it just a few short months ago that the "Supreme Court" said it was ok for the government to force you to pay for health care insurance? Was that an expansion or restriction of your liberty?

A whistleblower reported to Judicial
Watch that employees were required to bang on tables, chanting in unison
“The pilgrims were illegal aliens” while being instructed to no longer
use the word “minorities,” but to replace it with “emerging majorities.” More with video here

I have a feeling this government is going to see an "emerging majority" very soon.

They're supposed to be serving us but instead they shove us around and make us conform to their every whim.

As far as I'm concerned, this is another "department" we can easily do without ... unfund it, disband it, be done with it (about 90% of it anyway.)Then they can go pound sand on tables to their heart's content.

They're also VERY concerned with your "environmental impact." That's right ... you are in "impact" upon their pristine world ... and they want you to reduce your impact ... see, because they've got all their other work done so they can worry about this now.

How do I know this? Because they released a statement which read, in part:

“One simple way to reduce your environmental impact while dining at our
cafeterias,” read a United States Department of Agriculture interoffice
newsletter published on its Web site this week, “is to participate in
the ‘Meatless Monday’ initiative.” More here:

I want to get a bunch of peeps together and pound on tables while chanting "defund, disband, decommission."

I don't know about you but I like how the helpful jourrrrnalist told me that "parents like the idea." That way I can go ahead and join the bleating sheep herd.

Little by little they steal more and more of your liberty ... all in the name of "safety." Oh sure, sometimes they use "health" instead of safety ... or "the chillllllllldren" ... or "the environment" ... but it all ends in the same place, doesn't it.

Thelibs don't want to ban marijuana though, ever notice?

Ever hear one bitching that some kid is breathing second-hand smoke while the lib is burning an American flag?

How about this one ... no chips OR sodaallowed in the household/car of ANY child or fat-ass. You with me?

Oh, but Klown, they won't go any further with this ... this is just for the chilllllldren.

The British Medical Association (BMA) is calling for a ban on smoking in

ORANGE, Calif. (KTLA) — Four people are dead, including the suspected
gunman, after shootings in multiple locations in Orange County Tuesday
morning.

The suspect, a male in his 20s, fled in an SUV into the Tustin area, where there were multiple shootings, Amormino said.

Tustin police responded to a call of a carjacking with shots fired around 5:30 a.m. at Red Hill Avenue and the 5 Freeway.

A bystander was shot and transported to an area hospital. Witnesses reported seeing the suspect armed with two long guns. More here:

A Muslim preacher is secretly filmed urging followers to take benefits from the state to fund a holy war.

Yes, the jourrrrnalist calls him a "preacher." And I guess he is, if you count preaching hatred as actual "preaching." For the record, I don't count spewing hatred of others' religions as "preaching."

Anjem Choudary was secretly filmed mocking non-Muslims for working in 9-5 jobs
their whole lives, and told followers that some revered Islamic figures had
only ever worked one or two days a year.

“The rest of the year they were busy with jihad [holy war] and things like
that,” he said. “People will say,

‘Ah, but you are not working’.

“But the normal situation is for you to take money from the kuffar
[non-believers].

“So we take Jihad Seeker’s Allowance. You need to get support.”

He went on to tell a 30-strong crowd: “We are going to take England — the
Muslims are coming.”

Ridiculing the daily lives of UK workers, Choudary said: “You find people are
busy working the whole of their life. They wake up at 7 o’clock. They go to
work at 9 o’clock. “They work for eight, nine hours a day. They come home at 7 o’clock, watch
EastEnders, sleep, and they do that for 40 years of their life. That is
called slavery.”

Well, if the state is confiscating and spending a big portion of the money you earn, then yes, it's slavery. Otherwise, it's a free person selling their labor ... and what do YOU care?

Choudary, a father-of-four, claims more than £25,000 a year in benefits,
£8,000 more than the take-home pay of some soldiers fighting the Taliban in
Afghanistan, according to the Sun, which covertly filmed the preacher at
three meetings. More here:

Police are under investigation for jokingly filling in a witness statement in the name of a force dog.

Officers became exasperated when prosecutors asked for an account of a crime from a ‘PC Peach’, not realising Peach was the name of a police dog.

So they completed the form as if it had been written by the alsatian, and signed it with a paw print.More here:

But they're "under investigation." Oh yes, this requires much harumphing and tut-tuting. And you know why? That's right, because they poked fun at an idiot-lib.

Q - "Hey Klown, how do you know it was an idiot-lib?"

A - "Because conservatives have a sense of humor and are able to laugh at themselves when they do something stupid. Meanwhile, libs want you to think they are geniuses and anything that questions their genius means people might start thinking for themselves instead of relying on the genius of libs.

It hasn’t drawn much attention, but Facebook’s first annual earnings report contains an accounting gem: a multibillion-dollar tax deduction for the cost of executive stock options and share awards.

Even though Facebook (FB) reported $1.1 billion in pre-tax profits from U.S. operations in 2012, it will probably pay zero federal and state taxes—and even receive a federal tax refund of about $429 million—according to a Feb. 14 statement from Citizens for Tax Justice. More here:

Meanwhile, how's YOUR paycheck doing? Did you notice a little decrease in your check as Obama says "we all must sacrifice."

Yes, you know how HE'S sacrificing? That's right, a little golf outing with Tiger Woods. But he MEANS well ... he only wants the best for us ... and all he needs is a little bit more of our money and liberty to spread around to his buddies bring us to Utopia.

Sugar Land may be one of the safest cities in America, but that
doesn't mean the Texas town's police chief doesn't see his share of
action.

Two teens allegedly burglarized a home that turned out to be Sugar
Land Police Chief Doug Brinkley's house just days after the fair city
was ranked among the country's safest.

"They just chose my house," Brinkley, 48, told The Huffington Post.
"I wouldn't want to see them end in prison for the rest of their lives,
but unfortunable that's where they're heading with behavior like this,"

Brinkley was a mere five blocks away when Conner Hinton, 17, and
Taylor Nuttal, 17, had their unfortunate encounter with the chief's home
alarm system. Authorities arrested Hinton and Nuttal, and the unlucky
pair eventually confessed, Brinkley said. More here:

ERIE, Colo. (CBS4) – A Colorado company is threatening to leave the state if a bill to ban high-capacity ammunition magazines becomes law.

CBS4 Investigator Rick Sallinger toured the company in Erie. They said they would certainly prefer to stay.

The company is called Magpul. Among other products, they make
ammunition magazines which can hold up to 30 rounds. Tuesday night a
state House committee took the first step towards banning them. More here:

Excuse me ... it seems to me you need to be making plans to move to Wyoming. The libs in Colorado want to CRUSH your company ... don't you get that?

But go ahead and stay there and threaten the idiots libs. They'll prolly come to their senses and never bother you again.

The rest of the panel concluded that
Dorner "had a point" and that the unfolding story was theatric. Hill
said that the saga was "exciting," "like 'Django Unchained' in real
life," and Dorner was similar to a "super hero." Moore said that it was
like watching a "Denzel Washington movie"... More here:

Hey, one thing's for sure ... all the idiot-libs are up to date on the latest movies. You see, movies are very real ... just like life ... yes ... we can all learn lessons from the movies.

In a response letter to four top Republican lawmakers, the Department of
Homeland Security revealed it initiated only one case against an
immigrant for becoming a “public charge,” or being primarily dependent
upon the government, in fiscal year 2012. The case was later withdrawn. More here:

LOL ... "we thought we found one but we were wrong so we dropped it."

Meanwhile, have you ever seen people who can't speak English going thru the grocery store lines with their WIC coupons? No? Me either.

On a related note, the DHS has asked all Americans to be on the lookout for the ass of the DHS. They've been using both hands but they have not been able to locate their ass.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Four days after a massive snowstorm, many snow-weary residents on Long Island say their neighborhoods have yet to see any major plowing.

Plows and snow removal equipment from other parts of the state are still on the ground in Suffolk clearing away the piles of snow.

“We’ve got dozens of assets throughout the towns, we have nearly 100 assets in the town of Brookhaven at the state level trying to assist the town of Brookhaven, getting those streets open. More here:

I've noticed something. Idiot libs LOVE to play pretend.

In actuality, they're incompetent, ineffective boobs but they want to pretend they're very important geniuses. And there's nothing better than imitating important people when you want to boost your self esteem, right libs?

For example, let's use the word "assets" ... you know, like they do in the military. We'll copy them and pretend like we really know what we're talking about. That's right, just start throwing the word "assets" around ... you're a real big man.

Investigators have not been able to enter the still smoldering remains

So the guy goes nutso and kills all kinds of peeps ... you know ... because they DESERVED it. See, I think the problem was, the guy needed more steroids.

TSA screener Edwin Sanchez, overheard Hannibal’s remark, did not see
the funny side, and immediately called the cops, according to the court
complaint.

Hannibal spent the next 24 hours in a cell, during which time he was
fed a peanut butter sandwich by cops who later charged him with the
felony of “falsely reporting an incident”.

“It sounds laughable now but at the time to be led out of there like
a terrorist was unbelievable,” Hannibal tells the Daily News. “My
whole life was up in the air. It was a nightmare. My children were
overwhelmed. It was crazy.” More here:

Whaaaaaa? Why this comes as quite a shock ... you know, for libs peeps with less than two brain cells.

I mean, all he was doing was joking around about explosives ... at an airport ... with the TSA. What's this world coming to?

Perhaps now he'll come out from under his rock once in a while to do some reading.

The Ultra Ever Dry website lacks anything much in the way of information beyond pricing and availability (it's $96 for a quart of the top coat, $53/quart for the base). And, naturally, the components appear to be proprietary and the company offering it seems to be a distributor (so no immediate clues to how the substance works or opportunities to check out the patents.) More here:

Here's some Q & A from their website:

1. What is the working temperature range for Ultra-Ever Dry SE 7.6.110?

Answer: The working temperature range for the product is from -30°F to 300°F (-34°C to 149°C) once it has been applied. It has been effective at temperatures up to 500°F, but we would recommend further testing for any application that will see temperatures above 300°F (260°C).

2. How long will Ultra-Ever Dry coating last?

Answer: Environmental conditions will affect duration and these can vary. Abrasion is the leading cause of reduction in the superhydrophobic coating’s life. Under non-abrasive, static conditions, you should expect to see many years of outdoor service. Indoor applications will exceed that of outdoor applications.

Answer: One of the breakthroughs for this product is its abrasion resistance. The proprietary material provides more abrasion resistance than previous superhydrophobic materials, registering a result of 110 on the Tabor Abrasion Method (ASTM D4060-10). If abrasion is a concern, testing is recommended. If the superhydrophobic coating is removed due to abrasion, it can be reapplied by re-spraying.

5. Will the superhydrophobic coating still work if the top coat is greatly reduced due to abrasion?

Answer: Yes. In many situations, the superhydrophobic nature of the material may be diminished but the remaining top coat and bottom coat still provide the functionality of keeping the coated material from getting wet, iced-up or corroding. This is application dependent.

6. How many square feet or square meters can a gallon of Ultra-Ever Dry cover?

Even if it's Steven Spielberg, and even if it's Daniel Day-Lewis amazingly occupying the title role, Lincoln
is still a movie. And that means liberties were taken with the story,
something screenwriter Tony Kushner is now explaining in the wake of
accusations that the film is not historically accurate.

Rep. Joe Courtney, D-Conn., wrote a letter to Spielberg earlier this week noting that a key part of Lincoln
is wrong. The film shows two of three lawmakers from his state voting
against the 13th Amendment, prohibiting slavery in the U.S. "I could not
believe my eyes and ears!" he wrote, because, he says, according to the
Congressional Record, all four representatives from Connecticut voted
in favor of the amendment.

Kushner acknowledges, "We changed two of the delegation's votes, and
we made up new names for the men casting those votes, so as not to
ascribe any actions to actual persons who didn't perform them. In the
movie, the voting is also organized by state, which is not the practice
in the House. "

He goes on to say the alterations were made "to
clarify to the audience the historical reality that the Thirteenth
Amendment passed by a very narrow margin that wasn't determined until
the end of the vote.

"Here's my rule: Ask yourself, "Did this thing happen?" If the answer is
yes, then it's historical. Then ask, "Did this thing happen precisely
this way?" If the answer is yes, then it's history; if the answer is no,
not precisely this way, then it's historical drama."

Yes, historical drama ... aka, lib bullshit. I guess the actual end of slavery just wasn't exciting or dramatic enough for this guy. I mean ... wtf is WRONG with libs?

A young mother accused of sorcery was stripped naked, doused with
petrol and burned alive in Papua New Guinea because she was allegedly a
sorceress.

The woman, named by The National newspaper as Kepari Leniata, 20, was
reportedly tortured with a branding iron and tied up, splashed with fuel and
set alight on a pile of rubbish topped with car tyres.

According to the rival Post-Courier newspaper she was torched by villagers who
claimed she killed a six-year-old boy through sorcery, with police
outnumbered by onlookers and unable to intervene. More here:

BULLS GAP, Tenn. -An
86-year-old woman grabbed a gun in self-defense when police say an
intruder broke into her home. News 5 sat down with this woman today and
listened to her tell about the experience.

Louise Howard lives just off a busy highway in Bulls Gap.

She told us she's been the victim of theft many times before, and she's had enough and it was time to take a stand.

"I told different people if I ever catch them, I mean to kill them," said Louise Howard.

Louise Howard may be 86 years old, but she isn't afraid to defend her home or her life.

On Friday afternoon she was forced to do that. Howard said a young woman broke the glass on her door and forced her way inside.

"I was in shock. I didn't know what she was going to do to me!" Howard said.

Howard immediately grabbed her gun, but the two started to struggle down the hall.

"I already had my gun in my hand, and I wouldn't turn it loose for anything," she explained.

Howard's hands are proof she wasn't letting go.

"She
stuck a fingernail in there," said Howard. "She moved her hands sort of
released me a bit. I moved over like that, and I was going to shoot her
in the stomach, but she took her knee and hit my elbow."
